From telemarketers to traffic jams to twenty-item shoppers in the ten-item line, our lives are full of interruptions. They're often aggravating, sometimes infuriating, and can make us want to tell people what we really think about them. But they also tell us something quite important about ourselves.The prophet Jonah's life was interrupted by a clear call of God that made him mad enough and scared enough to run in the completely opposite direction. Yet it wasn't really an interruption. It was an opportunity for Jonah to be involved in something the likes of which the Old Testament world had never seen: national revival in a Gentile country.What if Jonah had seen God's interruption for what it truly was a divine intervention that held more adventure and possibility than any other thing he could have been doing at the time? What could have felt any better than being directly in the center of God's will?Yet we play it that same wayalways running from major pains and minor problems that just don't seem to suit us at the time. Who knows what we're missing by being so interruption avoidant? In this very personal account of opportunities lost and lessons learned, popular conference speaker and author Priscilla Shirer shows how to embrace the amazing freedom and fulfillment that comes from going with God, even when Hes going against your grain.Las interrupciones son molestas y a veces exasperantes; pero aun as, disean los mejores planes que Dios tiene para tu vida. Aquellos que al fin de cuentas se disearon para ti, y que a menudo se oponen a los tuyos.Dios interrumpi la vida del profeta Jons con un llamado que le requiri un cambio de vida total. Jons se aterroriz tanto que sali corriendo en direccin opuesta. Sin embargo, lo que aparentemente para l era una interrupcin innecesaria e inservible, se transform en una oportunidad para que fuera parte de algo que, en el mundo del Antiguo Testamento, jams haba sucedido antes. Esta interrupcin fue realmente una intervencin divina y tuvo ms aventuras y posibilidades de las que l nunca podra haberse imaginado.Nosotros, tal como Jons, solemos huir de las interrupciones. Cuando los grandes dolores y los pequeos problemas nos causan tropiezos en los planes y las metas que hemos pensado cuidadosamente, nosotros tambin nos encaminamos en la direccin opuesta. Quin sabe qu nos perderamos al huir de lo que muy bien podra ser el medio que Dios emplea para redirigirnos hacia el resultado ms grandioso de nuestra vida. Jons puede contarnos uno o dos relatos, y t tambin. De igual manera, Priscilla Shirer, la popular conferencista y escritora, tambin puede compartir desde una perspectiva estrechamente personal aquellas oportunidades perdidas y las lecciones aprendidas; y la asombrosa libertad y la satisfaccin que provienen de andar con Dios an cuando l est yendo en el sentido contrario al tuyo.
